British airspace was officially shutdown on the 15th April 2010 as a result of a volcanic erruption spreading a ploom of ash across the UK. The Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland was the volcano that errupted and caused the issues as strong winds caused the ash to spread across the UK and Europe.
This act of god has caused chaos for any airlines coming in and out of the UK with air freight, business and passenger flights being kept on the ground. The result of this is that many UK citizens have been stranded in different parts of the world due to the number of cancelled flights. A lot of these people have had to extend their hotel stays while others have been forced to cancel their plans because they can’t get abroad so what does this meant for the UK tourism industry this year?
Other travel companies and services have benefitted with UK ferries and the Eurostar channel tunnel seeing large increases in the number of people booking with them as travellers desperately try to find a way home but these companies have seen similar problems. Earlier this year the Eurostar tunnel had to be closed due to a broken down train stuck on the tracks. Consistant travel delays and problems like these can often result in a loss of consumer confidence for UK citzens looking to travel abroad.
Despite this being a potential disaster for international travel it is looking like it could be a big benefit for the UK tourist industry. The weather forecast for this summer is set to be good and holiday cottages, B&Bs and hotels across the UK have reported increases in bookings. Last year saw the phrase ’staycation’ being quoted in the media as many chose to stay at home or in local accommodation rather than travelling abroad and 2010 could see similar travel trends.
Last year we saw a large number of UK residents choosing to stay in the UK with a dramatic rise in the number of people renting holiday cottages in Cornwall. This is thought to be down to the good weather as well as these sorts of holidays are usually more affordable than most. The likelihood is that some people will still travel abroad this year but a large majority of people with tight budgets will still be looking to stay in Holiday Cottages and other types of vacation property.
